The award for worst Halloween costume of the year goes to… The View, according to audiences who tuned into Monday’s Halloween episode. The ABC talk show unveiled a child’s costume called “The Oscars Slap,” channeling the infamous incident where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage at the 2022 Oscars. In the themed episode about “channel surfing through generations of classic TV,” co-hosts Joy Behar dressed as Married With Children’s Peg Bundy and Whoopi Goldberg as a handmaid from The Handmaid’s Tale. Co-host Sara Haines then introduced the “Boo Are You Wearing?” segment, featuring costumes “inspired by this year’s hottest topics” as well as “horror stories and shocking moments.”
